Poll: Did Ann Romney change your view of Mitt Romney?
The New Orleans Times-Picayune ^ | August 28, 2012 | Lauren W. List

Posted on 08/28/2012 9:55:08 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Ann Romney, wife of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, spoke to the Republican National Convention about the former Massachusetts governor not as a politician, but as a husband and father.

She told the crowd and a prime-time audience about their 43-year marriage, one of real struggles and experiences, including her battles with multiple sclerosis and breast cancer, and nothing of the storybook tale that people imagine. Ann Romney also talked about his role as a father to five sons, and grandfather to 18 grand-kids

The GOP hoped her speech would help undecided and other voters (especially women) better relate to Mitt Romney as an everyday man instead of a corporate and political insider...

Sometimes that weight helps you. I’m roughly his size and I’ve noticed over the years that most people don’t argue with you as much and usually listen (or at least pretend to) when you say something.

Ann was very impressive, and made me think if Mitt was smart enough to marry and hang on to such a person as Ann, perhaps there is more to him than I thought at first.

NO! I don’t need to listen to her to know that either as I didn’t. Listening to a pump speech from the godless is useless and a waste of my God-given time. I never listen the POS Obama or Michelle either. Garbage in, garbage out!

Knowing The Truth sets one free from their bondage and LIES.

No, I already knew Romney was a superior man to Obama.

She did a great job though and she will be a great First Lady for America.

I'll second that.

She's a lovely lady. Never had a problem with her. Speech was OK.

Don't like Mitt. Still don't. Voting against Obama.

Once again raising the question that must be asked:

Have Michelle Obama and RuPaul ever been seen in the same room at the same time?

Ann Romney was adorable. She built a strong connection with those who heard her. She described a husband that millions of women dream about having and the fulfillment she received with a life that began with that first dance. The kisses afterward showed me that their love for each other is burning strong. Instead of being, as Juan Williams called her—the “corporate wife”—she was the good wife that we all dream about having. She is the wife that will make America be great again.

She was fantastic! I’m already voting for Romney but my Democrat sister says she’s on board now. +1


I have heard that from a couple other people already tonight. This was in the back of my mind, after she spoke. I think the female vote will start breaking for Romney. Well, the sane vote anyway. Good to hear.

Profoundly conservative? Harry Reed gets 89% of the Mormon vote. He must be a severe conservative, like Romney.

They are heretics with respect to Christendom.

The godless have nothing to do with GOD - they are his enemy! As his pro abortion Romneycare and he initiating same sex marriage and personally marrying the perverts. Sodom and Gomorrah wasn't even that low - no one even thought that low of them getting married and God destroyed them and 'brought out/saved His own'.

Romney is the lowest of the low.

Most “Christian” denominations are heretical these days too, what with homosexuality and ordaining women...

Most? YOU must be in the wrong circle or right considering what you are gravitating towards. Seems you don't know a 'Christian' if you met one to consider those denominations Christians. They aren't heretics they are being what they are - godless!

This is not an exercise in faith.

The hell it isn't!! IT is a most important exercise of faith. If you can't stand for TRUTH now, you NEVER will!

When the heat is on, you crumble. Yet, when the heat was turned up 7 times - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego NEVER BOWED to their king. That's the faith you don't want to hear about because you don't have it! That's the faith that saves!

The Cross and the Flag parted company aways back.

WOW! Separate the Cross from the flag, this nation will be just like you want - evil. WHO do you think made this nation great? You, politicians? Who do you think poured about His blessings on it? This nation would be like any other 3rd rate nation and it will be - one nation under evil. When they burn/destroy the flag what are YOU left with?

This is about strengthening the things that remain, IMHO

YOU can't strengthen anything in this country. You can't even strengthen your faith and that is totally in your control. Unless you belong to a cult, that is, then you are being obedient to bow to evil.

All there is left is a godless society with every evilness and bondage that it brings. Enjoy it - you voted for it.

. While the faithful ones will be enjoying all that the CROSS brings and for eternity. There is no evil in heaven for you to bow to.

No, but I think she did a good job considering what she had to work with. I do think she should have left out the complaints about not having a kitchen table. It reminded me that he didn’t have a job till he was 31 and she never had one even before having children. I guess it never occurred to them to work for what they wanted instead of waiting for daddies next check. I believe she once said that at that time things were so bad they had to cash in some of Mitts stocks.

She is an attractive woman and good speaker

When she chooses her issue, it won’t be telling our kids to eat spinach and do jumping jacks to earn her a Guinness World record while stuffing her own face with steak ice cream and lobsta and trotting around the gym in Jimmmy Choo kitten heels

He is still a stiff but gotta admit he WAS a hunk back then

The media harpies will now have their claws out for Ann Romney, she is a threat to all the wymyn’s issues they hold most dear: entitlement to taxpayer funded birth control, fetus slaughter, and sterilization, and activism against institutions of white male oppression like marriage church stay-home parenting and traditional 2 married parent families (oooh, hate speech)

The married female vote will be swayed, but the unmarried female views big government as her sugar daddy.
